SNESAmp v2.99

posted in Media News by grammarian on Apr 24th, 2003

After a long time, the incredible SPC plugin for Winamp, SNESAmp, has been updated! The new version, v2.99, sports a long list of updates, which are as follows:
  • Improved the snapping algorithm (the control and tag editor dialogs will dock to any Winamp window)
  • Control dialog doesn't automatically gain the focus when it becomes visible
  • Control dialog tries to work with transparency plug-ins
  • Tag editor and control dialog remember their absolute screen positions
  • Added ability to save the mixing level in the tag
  • Added ability to disable the echo in the configuration
  • Changed output threshold to +/-3.00dB
  • Added version information to LRM's and improved LRM detection and loading (LRM's from previous versions of SNESAmp won't get loaded and crash)
  • Fixed another return value error in the message handler (titlebar text scrolls)
  • Visualization works with 32-bit samples
  • Sometimes the mixing level in the config was displayed incorrectly
  • Forgot to save the date in the tag
  • Tag editor doesn't crash when the date is corrupted
  • Forgot to apply the mute flags from the tag
  • Fixed the time calculation so the buttons in the tag editor get the correct time when a song's speed has been adjusted via the control dialog
  • Fixing a mixing level problem when auto attenuation was turned off SNESAPU.DLL v0.98
  • Added micro ramping to the channel volumes in the 32-bit sample routine (reduces zipper effects and pops in some songs)
  • Added a 17-bit clamp to the sample decompression (fixes Hiouden, but the wind in CT isn't quite right)
  • Added linear interpolation to the FIR filter (fixes some songs that turned to noise)
  • ENVX always gets updated, regardless of ADSR/GAIN flag (fixes Clue)
  • Added code to the speed hack to try and isolate small polling loops (fixes the tempo problems some games were having)
  • Changed the loader code, again, to copy extra RAM from the correct place (fixes incorrect sounds in Tales of Phantasia)
  • Fixed a lame bug when clearing the in-ports (fixes Dragon Quest songs stopping half way through)
